IMPRQ'VEMENT IN CHURNS.

The Schedule referred tain these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that I, NICHOLS SHnLToN,'of Odessa, in the county of Schuyler, and inthe State of New York, have invented certain new and usei'ul Improvements in Chnrns; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference heilig had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon,mak ing a part of this specification.

My invention relates to that class of churns which is worked by an up and down motion of the churndash, and consists yin attaching yto the churn two upright standards for supporting a spring, to which thc staff of the churn-dash is secured, whereby the labor in churning is facilitated.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which :ny-invention' appel-rains to make and-use the saine, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, which represent a side elevation of my churn.

A represents a churn of the class having an up and down motion ofthe churn-dasher.

lB is the dasher-stafi. Y y' l Upon the sides of the'chu'rn are two loops a a, in which are inserted two npr-ight standards C C.l

These standards are further secured to the chnrn by hooks b l), fastened by the staples d cl.

The uppel` ends of' the standards C C are connected by a crosshar, E, having a helix spring, G,suspended from its under side.

At the lower end of the spring G is secured an iron wrist, c, containing a tlnnnlr-screw, h.. Through the wrist e the dasher-stal B is received into the helix spring G,.and secured by the thumb-screw h, when raised to its proper height for action, thereby enabling it more easily to lii't the. dasher in the churn.

1n place oi the helix spring G, I may use any other kind ot' spring, elnsticeord, or strnp,'to facilitate the labor of churning. i

Having thus fully described myinvention,

lhat l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination and arrangement of. the churn A, standards C C, loops a af, hooks b b, staples ll d,dush

er-stat' B, spring G, colla-r e, und set-screw h, allsnb-` sta-utially as and for thepnrposes herein set tfrtln Ii1`testin1ony-tlmt I claim the foregoing, I have' hereunto-set my hand this l10th day ot' December, 1869.

NICHOLS sHELToN.
